Here's a weird idea: Combine a medium strength auto-cannon with storage space and boarding defense. It'd be fun to see on enemy ships that would make boarding a little harder as well.
Component Name: (No ideas here)
Effect: Stats close to a level 5 auto-cannon, +10 Boarding Defense, +3 Cargo
Mass: 120 (same as cargo-fuel pod, 20 more than auto-cannons)
Cost: 1.5x a level 7 auto-cannon
Limitation: Restricted to De Valtos Shipyards
Slot Size: Small
Boarding Defense would simply add to the strong dice used to resist an opponent's boarding roll. The cargo space added here is less than cargo-fuel pods but this might be a fun way to justify an auto-cannon as a weapon for those players that really dislike them. But really this will shine on enemy ships that will have more cargo to loot (unless this component is destroyed!) and will be hard to board if they have 2+ of these cannons on board.
